Summer Camp success!
Our project managers work with some very poor and vulnerable children. When we have the finances, we are always anxious to try to enable summer camps to happen. This was the request from one of our project managers, Pastor Ion in Moldova. He asked for £700 to be sent to be able to help run a summer camp for 100 vulnerable children. Pastor Ion works in the community on a day to day basis and sees the children and the circumstances in which they live. For them to be able to spend a week playing and be away from the precarious situations many of them are living in, is a joy. Thank you to everyone that supports Club Link. Your sponsorship of £5 a month or one off donation, enables us to help put these sorts of events on. If anyone would like to join Club Link there is more information HERE.
The children had the most amazing time. They ate wonderful things and tasted candy floss for the first time. They also ate proper meals which is a rarity in most cases.
